This podcast is based on some of his thoughts.
Everybody loves saying they would have bought the obvious winner early.
Bitcoin is worth nothing. Miami real estate was before the world caught on. That one card you passed on that now feels like a punch to the stomach.
Easy to say later. Way harder in real time.
This episode breaks down 21 under-the-radar NFT projects and, more importantly, the mindset behind their selection. Because this isn’t really about NFTs. It’s about understanding how value forms before everyone else sees it.
There’s a clear pattern throughout the guide. The projects fall into two buckets.
The first is history.
Some of these are tied to the earliest days of blockchain. We’re talking about the first digital art sold on Ethereum, early meme culture, the first attempts at digital land, and primitive versions of things that now feel obvious. Projects like Curio Cards, PixelMap, Etheria, and Rare Pepes aren’t just collectibles. They’re artifacts.
The second bucket is people.
Founder-led projects with real operators behind them. Builders who have already proven they can execute. That’s where names like VeeFriends stand out, along with newer projects where the community, leadership, and long-term vision actually matter.
And that’s really the entire game.
History or people.
That’s the lens.
We also get into some of the more interesting angles from the guide:
Why being first still matters more than people think
Why some “boring” NFTs might quietly outperform flashy ones
Why community behavior tells you more than price charts
Why liquidity matters way more than most people realize
And why buying something you actually like might be one of the most underrated strategies in this space
This is not a “go buy this tomorrow” episode. Not even close.
It’s a framework episode.
If you understand how to think about early assets, digital history, and founder-driven ecosystems, you give yourself a completely different shot at being early… instead of just being loud.
And honestly, whether it’s NFTs, real estate, or anything else… that pattern tends to repeat.
If you ever want to buy or sell a property anywhere in the world, our team would be honored to help get you to your next destination.
Until next time, stay curious, stay hungry, and as always… stay ALL IN!
